Trucker upgrades again

“I didn’t think it would have grown ……. Phew.”

Enlightened, I returned to the driver’s seat.

I calm myself down and do what I need to do to calm my mind. The first thing I need to do is upgrade the truck and collect the materials from the dragon.

Mireina is watching blue pants. Now she’s lying in bed, waiting to regain consciousness.

“Tama, how do we collect the material from the dragon?　Can I get just one part of it?”

“The material of the Venom Dragon is its entire body. The outer skin is used for armor, the fangs and claws for weapons, and the blood and internal organs for medicine. So I recommend collecting all parts of it. The method of collection is impossible with the current equipment.”

“Oh, come on, what are we supposed to do then?”

“I recommend that you undertake the new procedure [Vehicle Refurbishment].”

“Oh, I remember you saying something like that. Please do so.”

“Understood.”

“You can choose either the Dump Form or the Unic Form. When you reach level 40, one of the options below will open up for you to choose again.”

“Dump Truck vs. Unic Truck….”

“I recommend the [Unic Form]. With the Dump truck form, you can’t put the dragon on the back of the truck. But with the Unic truck, you can use a crane to lift the dragon’s body and put it on the back of the truck.”

“I see. Then let’s take the Unic truck.”

“Understood. ［Unic form] opened. Would you like to perform a form change?”

“Yes, thank you.”

Then there was a momentary vibration. The driver’s seat changed slightly.

The steering wheel and gas pedal pedals remained the same, but a remote control appeared. It seemed to be used to operate the crane. The entrances and exits to the restrooms and living quarters were unchanged. I went outside to check the whole thing out.

“Oh, oh ~~~”

I was surprised. I was amazed.

There was a 10-ton Unic truck sitting there. The crane is a 5-stage type, and the maximum load capacity is listed as 8 tons. I guess it can carry a dragon. But there is a problem.

“……How do you operate this thing?”

I’ve never operated this kind of vehicle before.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Under Tama’s guidance, I was able to operate the Unic. Or rather, I can’t operate the controller.

I put the unic truck near the dragon and slowly lowered the crane. It came with a wire, so I decided to put the dragon’s head on the back of the truck first.

“… Tama, it’s dead, right?”

“Zero vital signs. Definitely dead.”

The head of the dragon was chopped off, but the face was too vicious.

It looks like it’s going to start moving at any moment and crawl around on the ground with just its head. There was a movie about a monster who bit off an arm while moving only by his head.

“Oh, by the way, you need to be qualified to hook the wire, don’t you…..?”

I managed to get the wire through the head and hooked it to the crane.

After that, I slowly move the crane by remote control and put it on the back of the truck. Once that was done, I hung the body by the same wire and lowered it onto the back of the truck.

It took a while, but I managed to finish. The only thing left to do was to return to Zenimouke and exchange it for money.

” But first, I have to finish the upgrade.”

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

“….. Tama, give me a can of coffee. Sugar free.”

“Understood………. purchase complete.”

A small plastic bag popped out from inside the dashboard. I fished through the bag and found a can of sugar-free coffee.

I opened the pull-tab and took a sip of the coffee. ……… Yeah, coffee is great after a hard day’s work. It would have been better if it was beer.

“Anyway, let’s see the status of the vehicle.”

“Understood. Status Deployment”

” It’s a piece of equipment for inside the car. It was chosen as a weapon suitable for the 《Dekotora》.”

” Who chose it!? Me!? Or God!?”

“God.”

” ………… Enough. The only weapon I need is my pistol. I’ll never get to use them. Just leave them there…….”

” The number of items has increased, so they are now displayed separately. The items below are not yet unlocked, but will become available as your level increases.”

“Wow, that’s interesting. It seems like a camper or a trailer.”

“Whoa! There’s more …… TVs!”

“Yes. The TV station is in Japan.”

“Seriously!?”

Really, really, really, really, really, really, really? I never thought I’d be able to watch TV in another world, and it’s a Japanese television station. I actually wanted to see the island development show with a certain idol that I watched every week without missing. I’ve been watching it since I was a kid. It’s a must buy!

“Give me a TV and a sofa!”

“Understood. Purchase complete. …… installed.”

“All right!!”

This is going to make the dinner table even more enjoyable!!

Watching variety shows while eating food prepared by Mireina …… There is no such luxury in another world. At first she will be surprised, but I’m sure Mireina will love the TV.

“Calm down ……, we have to finish the upgrade first. Okay, Tama, next stop, the bedroom.”

“Understood.”

“Hmmm. I think it’s time for a nice new bedroom…….”

By the way, the bedroom is currently occupied by Mireina, while I sleep on the ceiling right above the driver’s seat.

At first she stubbornly refused, but my pride as a man wouldn’t allow it. By the way, I rejected the idea of sleeping together. To tell the truth, I’m really tired and if we sleep together, I won’t be able to control myself.

It was hard for me to believe that Mireina was a natural or that she didn’t understand that.

“Then add a bedroom. And buy a new bed from the re-buy section.”

“Understood.”

From the ［List of Purchased Equipment / Re-purchase], you can see the equipment you’ve purchased so far. If there’s something you want, you can use your points to buy it. It’s so convenient. This is a cheat skill.

“Finally, a shower room.”

“Understood.”

” Hmmm ……… all of them are expensive.”

Bubble baths and herbal baths ……… aren’t shower rooms anymore. It’s a complete bathing facility.

If Mireina is happy, I’d like to have a cypress bath set or an open-air bath set, but I’d like to keep the points because I’ll buy ……… some food and drinks.

I mean, experience points for killing a dragon are about 20,000 points. To be honest, I thought it would go up to 100,000, but it’s not so easy.

” I don’t want the bathroom for now. The vehicle enhancements are also good …….”

“Warning. The additional equipment is only available in truck form. You can’t use any kind of armament because you are currently in [Unic Form]. Please be careful when fighting.”

“Huh !?”

” You can only use all armament deployment when you are in [Truck Form]. You need more levels to learn the various forms of armament.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! So the truck ……… is useless? I have a dragon…….”

I didn’t know there was such a restriction. Maybe we should just get out of here. Then the door to the living room opened and Mireina came out.

“Kota-san, Shiny Blue is awake!!”　

“Oh, I see.”

But first, I guess I’ll say hello to blue pants.
